NAACP accuses ESPN of bias in Protect College Sports Act coverage
TL;DR Summary
The NAACP criticized ESPN for giving Senator Ted Cruz a platform to advocate for the Protect College Sports Act, saying ESPN offered no balance on the issue. The piece suggests the bill would grant an antitrust exemption to the NCAA, potentially limiting players’ earnings and mobility, and argues ESPN is publicly supporting the measure ahead of College GameDay’s LSU vs. Ole Miss coverage.
